about prep...
Overview
​
PREP (Progressively Reaching Excellence in Professionalism) is a FLO (Freshmen Leadership Organization) at Texas A&M University that is committed to providing a community which will allow freshmen to navigate the complexities of their first year in college through both professional and social development. As a freshman at Texas A&M, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of organizations, each with their own set of opportunities. What sets PREP apart as a FLO is the emphasis on becoming a more well-rounded individual. Close-knit socials and a highly developed committee structure enable members to develop valuable leadership skills while forging relationships with their peers and serving the community. PREP’s mission is to give freshmen the opportunity to interact with each other and learn the essentials of professional etiquette and decorum as they establish themselves as both leaders and people of exceptional character at Texas A&M. Whether it is through leadership in committee work, giving back at the Big Event, developing professional speaking skills in a case competition, or just having fun at a winter retreat, PREP uniquely offers opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

structure
​
As a staff, we have each walked in your shoes as freshmen and striven to create the best possible leadership and social experience our organization has to offer. Collectively, we maintain professional skills that have enabled us to be successful both in school and in the professional world already. We have a variety of majors on our staff and we are all committed to providing our incoming members with opportunities to better themselves not only as professionals, but also as people of character. We are all focused on offering the best experience possible as our members embark on their freshman year. After seeing our own lives changed by the staff who served before us, we are each proactively interested in serving the freshmen as a resource, mentor, and - most of all - friend. Ultimately, our commitment to the freshmen is simple: be there in every possible way. While every student's freshman year is chaotic, we strive to create a common sense of stability to serve as a foundation upon which our members may thrive for the rest of their college career.
